Abstract EN:

Many italians emigrate to canada after 1945, and a high proportion of them settle in toronto. By 1971, this immigration wave is over, how do these non-english speaking immigrants manage to adapt to their new life (geographical distribution, family life, work and social mobility)? what institutions do they generate (churches, media, associations) ? what part do they take in the life of the city (political activity, linguistic problems of a non-english-speaking minority in a in a country that has two official languages, english and french) ?
